Note: We're actively seeking guests for the show. If you would like to do either a single or a double segment on some topic or if you have some significant news updates or if you have anything else to say of interest to the hosts, let me know and we'll consider scheduling you on the show. Each segment is 27 minutes long (assuming we start on time) and it's important to get to the studio a little early (5:20pm for the 5:30pm show, for example). The hosts (Judy Nathans and Robert Winters) prefer to schedule guests with whom we can have an actual conversation, so it's helpful if we know at least a little about whatever you'd like to talk about on the show. We can switch back and forth to websites during the show to provide greater detail, and we can pre-load any such detail onto a web page if it is provided at least a day before the show. - RW
